Quick trip to NYC (several pix)

[CaptainTom]

I made a quick trip to NYC with Sig Other to see a couple of shows, museums, etc. last weekend. Finally got to look at the shots. I had decided to just take the Canon 18-55 kit lens and see how it performed. I had not used this lens since buying my 20D two years ago.

5-Hershey Bldg
6- girl and dog and EWR

Really like the last three. Times Square comes across as noisy because of the intense colors. I wonder what it sounded like!

Nice shots.

It's not as noisy as you might think. But, it isn't quiet by any means either.
They don't drive with their horns as much as they do in Boston, but there are a lot more honks than here at home.

What is hard to get used to is the pace that people go at. I couldn't keep up with most of them, and I think many were tourists. Our life here is pretty laid back compared to Manhattan....
